As the 2027 general election approaches, the factional National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Julius Abure, appears to be on a mission to destroy the opposition parties and facilitate the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the polls.
Instead of campaigning to wrestle power from the ruling APC, Abure is either causing a crisis in LP to weaken the party, or attacking the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Peter Obi.
Many LP members claimed that Abure’s activities forced Obi to defect from the LP to the NDC but he is still attacking him as if his mission is to destroy the opposition instead of campaigning for his party to win elections.
Last week, Abure threw caution to the wind when he advised the national leader of the NDC, Senator Seriake Dickson, to be cautious in his alliance with Obi and his supporters.
In a statement he personally signed last Monday, he said Dickson appeared to have learnt from the recent crisis in the LP, describing the NDC leader’s alleged refusal to concede all elective positions in the party to Obi’s supporters as commendable.
